Jeremiah 15
1 Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu sị m, “Ọ bụrụ na Mosis na Samuel apụta bịa guzo nʼihu m, ụdịdị obi m agaghị agbanwe nʼebe ndị a nọ. Chụpụ ha nʼihu m. Mee ka ha si nʼebe a pụọ.
2 If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
Ọ bụrụ na ha ajụọ gị si, ‘Ebee ka anyị ga-aga?’ Gwa ha na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Ndị e debere nʼihi ọnwụ ga-anwụ, ndị e debere nʼihi mma agha ka mma agha ga-egbu; ndị e debere nʼihi ụnwụ ka ụnwụ ga-egbu, otu a kwa, ndị e debere nʼihi ịdọta nʼagha, ka a ga-adọta nʼagha buru ha gaa mba ọzọ.’
3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
“Aga m ezite ụdị mbibi anọ megide ha: mma agha nke ga-egbu ha, nkịta ga-adọkpụrụ ozu ha pụọ, ụmụ anụ ufe na ụmụ anụ ọhịa dị iche iche ga-eripịa ha, ma bibiekwa ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
4 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
Aga m eme ka ha ghọọ ihe a na-asọ oyi nʼalaeze niile nke ụwa, nʼihi ihe Manase nwa eze Hezekaya nke Juda mere na Jerusalem.
5 Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
“Onye ga-enwe ebere nʼahụ gị, gị Jerusalem? Onye ga-eru ụjụ nʼihi ihe ga-adakwasị gị? Onye ga-apụta guzo ịjụ ajụjụ banyere otu ihe si agara gị?
6 You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
Gị onwe gị ajụla m,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ị nọgidela na-adaghachi azụ. Ya mere, aga m ebikwasị gị aka, bibie gị. Ike m ji akwụsị gị ka ị ghara ịdaghachi azụ agwụla m.
7 I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.
Aga m eji ihe e ji afụcha ọka fụchaa ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke ala ahụ. Aga m eme ka mbibi bịakwasị ndị m, nke ga-eme ka ha gbara aka ụmụ, nʼihi na ha esitebeghị nʼụzọ ọjọọ ha chigharịa.
8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.
Aga m eme ka ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ nwanyị di ha nwụrụ baa ụba. Ha ga-ehi nne karịa aja dị nʼọnụ oke osimiri. Nʼetiti ehihie ka m ga-eme ka onye mbibi bịakwasị ndị bụ nne ụmụ okorobịa ha; na mberede ka m ga-eme ka nhụju anya na ihe oke egwu bịakwasị ha.
9 The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,”
Nwanyị mụrụ ụmụ asaa ga-ada mba, kubie ume. Ọ ga-anwụ mgbe oge ya na-erubeghị, ihere ga-eme ya; ọ ga-abụkwa onye e wedara nʼala. Ma ndị fọdụrụ ndụ ka m ga-eme ka ha nwụọ site na mma agha ndị iro ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
10 Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
Ahụhụ dịịrị m, nne m, na ị mụrụ m, onye ya na ndị niile bi nʼala a na-alụ ọgụ, ma na-ese okwu. O nwebeghị onye m binyere ego, ọ dịkwaghị onye binyere m ego, ma mmadụ niile na-akọcha m.
11 The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
Onyenwe anyị kwuru sị, “Nʼezie, aga m anapụta gị nʼihi ezi ihe, aga m eme ka onye iro gị rịọ gị arịrịọ nʼoge ihe ọjọọ na nʼoge mkpagbu.
12 Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?
“Mmadụ o nwere ike ịgbaji igwe, ya bụ igwe e si nʼakụkụ ugwu bubata, maọbụ bronz?
13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.
“Aga m ewere ihe niile i nwere, ya na akụnụba gị, nye ya onye ga-akwata ha nʼagha. Ọ gaghị akwụ gị ihe ọbụla. Nʼihi na mmehie gị niile ejupụtala nʼala a niile.
14 Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
Aga m ewere gị nye ka ị bụrụ ohu ndị iro gị. Ị ga-ebi nʼala ị na-amaghị. Nʼihi na a ga-esite nʼiwe m mụnye ọkụ nke ga-eregbu gị.”
15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
Ị maara O Onyenwe anyị, ya mere cheta m, lekọtaakwa m. Bọọrọ m ọbọ megide ndị na-akpagbu m. Ewezugala m, biko, nʼihi na ị bụ onye ogologo ntachiobi. Lee ka m si na-anata nkọcha nʼihi na m na-asọpụrụ gị.
16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.
Mgbe m chọpụtara okwu gị, eweere m ya rie dịka nri. Ha tọrọ obi m ụtọ, bụrụkwa ihe na-enye m ọṅụ, nʼihi na-akpọkwasịrị m aha gị, Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
17 I never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.
O nwebeghị oge mụ na ndị na-achị ọchị nke ukwuu ji nọkọọ. Esokwaghị m ha ṅụrịkọọ ọṅụ. A nọdụụrụ m onwe m nʼihi na aka gị dịkwasịrị m. I mekwara ka iwe jupụta m nʼobi nʼihi ajọ omume ha.
18 Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
Gịnị mere ihe mgbu m adịghị akwụsị akwụsị? Gịnị mekwara ọnya m ji dị njọ na-apụghị ịgwọta ya? Ị dịrị m dịka mmiri iyi na-arafu mmadụ, dịka isi iyi nke na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi.
19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụrụ na i chegharịa, aga m etinyeghachi gị nʼọnọdụ gị, ime ka i guzokwa nʼihu m. Ọ bụrụ na okwu si gị nʼọnụ abụrụ okwu kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, okwu na-abụghị okwu nzuzu ị ga-abụ onye na-ekwuchitere m ọnụ m. Ndị a ga-alaghachikwute gị ma i gaghị alaghachikwuru ha.
20 Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
Aga m eme ka ị dịrị ka mgbidi nʼebe ha nọ. Ị ga-abụ mgbidi e wusiri ike, nke e ji bronz wuo. Ha ga-ebuso gị agha, ma ha agaghị emeri gị nʼihi na m nọnyeere gị ịnapụta gị, nakwa ịzọpụta gị,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
21 I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
“Aga m anapụta gị site nʼaka ndị ọjọọ. Gbapụtakwa gị site nʼaka ndị na-enweghị obi ebere.”
